Organizational Patterns in Academic Writing

چکیده
The purpose of academic writing is to present a number of ideas that somehow fit together to make sense. Sometimes the amount of new concepts, new words, and facts can be very large and complex. Professors, textbook authors, and researchers use a framework or plan that helps to communicate their ideas clearly. There are several types of plans, called organizational patterns that can be identified in academic writing. They help the author to organize his or her ideas in a way that makes sense, and hopefully, they help you to understand the material being presented.
